In this two day lesson students will continue to build knowledge on cell division. Students will create their own Mitosis/Cytokinesis flip book. Students will work independently to create the book with each page having a colored drawing and the back describing the process of the colored picture.
Objectives
Students will be able to...
draw the processes the cell takes during mitosis and cytokinesis
describe in detail the processes the cell takes during mitosis and cytokinesis
Materials / Preparation Notes
paper
colored pencils
flip book instrustion handout
Instruction
Opening
Last class we spent a great deal of time going over the cell division processes.
Can we recall the cell cycle events in order?
What are the processes of mitosis?
Today we will do a creative activity to help us understand and remember the process of mitosis.
From here I will briefly explain how the class how they will complete the flip book while I pass out the flip book instructions. Letting them know they can use their notes and textbooks for reference.
I will ask if there are any questions before they start and then set them to complete their work independently.
Activities
The entire period the class will work on this. I will walk around the classroom monitoring work, behavior and answering any questions that the students have.
Closing
I will stop class a couple of minutes before class ends and ask if the students have any questions before they leave. I will inform students that their flipbook is to be completed for homework. They will have two nights to do it and then it is to be turned in for a grade.
Assessment Notes
Any uncompleted work the students will have for homework. The flip book will then be turned in for a project grade.
